Oriental Rugs: Handmade, timeless beautiful area rugs

Oriental rugs are the perfect accent to enrich your decorating plans and will add a unique blend of excitement, mystique and charm to your home or office or wherever a floor covering is needed.

The quality of a handwoven oriental rug is determined by the braided or weaved wool, intricacy of design and knot density. They are available as Persian, Aubusson, Chinese, Pakistan, Rumanian, and Turkish, and Tibetan and can be used in a variety of areas.

The wool used in handknotted oriental rugs either originates exclusively from the country of origin or is a blend of indigenous and imported wool.

Intricacy of design refers to the degree of detail a design possesses as well as to the number of different colors needed to execute the pattern.

Finally, knot density means the more knots tied per square inch, the finer the detail in the design and the more labor-intensive the production.

If you are fortunate to purchase your first oriental rug, remember the floor is perhaps the most prominent decorative component, accounting for one third of a room's total space. So naturally, it deserves to be adorned with the best, and with the most beautiful accent rug.

You can influence the room settings' entire color & design scheme by extracting a single color from the oriental rug, including the upholstery, wall coverings, furniture and window treatments.

Thanks to the infinite variety of colors, styles, types, and sizes, you can incorporate any area rug into an existing decor, residential or commercial. Persian, Aubusson, Chinese, Pakistan, Rumanian, Turkish, and Tibetan area rugs are known for an array of patterns that blend well with your existing home decor.

Persian carpets are traditionally known for their tremendous high quality and variety in design, color, size and weave, and for the uniqueness of each and every oriental rug produced.

Kashan, Tabriz, Kerman, Sarouk, and Bijar are among the many popular Persian area rug patterns that have inspired faithful recreations and innovative adaptations. The popularity of the Persian rug, both antique & new continues, and is a source of inspiration for their rug-producing countries throughout the world.
